Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl, then whisk in honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Place the dried salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the glaze generously over the top and sides.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon slices.
Notes
- For extra caramelization, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes after baking.
- Salmon continues cooking briefly after removal from the oven, so slightly underdone is better than overdone.
